Peter stated in his open letter that while they rarely sell out stadiums as solo artists, they do so as P-Square. “Well, my brother, let me ask you this: Is Mr. P or Rudeboy currently bigger and more successful than P-SQUARE?” he said. Are we, like P-SQUARE, selling out arenas and stadiums on an individual basis? Are our tracks as solo artists reaching the top of the global music charts?

The vocalists performed in 100 locations during their reunion tour, with a stop at London’s esteemed Royal Albert Hall in September 2022. A concert hall called the Royal Albert Hall is located in London, England’s South Kensington neighborhood. It can accommodate 5,272 people in seats. Leading performers from throughout the world have taken the stage of the hall since Queen Victoria opened it in 1871.

The most expensive ticket for the performance sold for around $55.55 (N113,401.16) plus a booking fee of £50.50 (N103,111.20), according to the UK ticketing website Shoobs.com. The least expensive ticket sold for £ 39.05 (N79,748.69) with a booking fee of £35.50 (N72,265.18). This indicates that the pair earned almost N597,850,915.52 for the most expensive tickets sold at a single event in the UK, while they only made N420,435,093.68 for the least expensive ones. The brothers are losing millions of foreign dollars as well as their fan base and momentum as a result of the rise of new artists, all while the family dispute rages.

Origins of the recent conflict

Paul Rudeboy, a member of the band “P-Square,” recently told the media that the group is no longer together. “No, P-Square is no more,” he exclaimed. In addition, Peter stated in an open letter posted on his official Instagram account that Paul, his brother, not only supported Jude, their older brother, in his attempt to ruin their brand, but he also seized every chance to disparage Peter’s contributions to the group while claiming all the credit.

In his letter to his brother, Peter, also known as Mr. P, said in part, “You always look for opportunities to marginalize and humiliate me.” You constantly make the claim that you are the producer, lyricist, composer, backup vocalist, and singer of P-SQUARE. You are actually P-SQUARE’s manager, promoter, band, choreographer, and even the director of their music videos. P-SQUARE is written and completed by you! Rather than the 99% you assert, I demolish you entirely.

He further said that his sibling always makes fun of his family. “I frequently wonder what you really stand to gain from continuously insulting and degrading me? You have shown disdain for my spouse, my family, my abilities, my beliefs, and even Jude when it was obvious he was attempting to subjugate me. Peter bemoaned, “I feel like you’ve gone one step further now, trying so hard to make the fans think I’m jealous of you in order to turn them against me.

According to a research by kworb.net based on data from the massive music streaming site Spotify, which was last updated on 2024/08/07, the artists streamed 239, 783, 191 songs through their Best of P-Square initiative, with fans streaming 142, 143 songs every day.

Spotify compensates artists at a variable rate for each stream. The usual range for each stream is between $0.003 (N4.77) and $0.005 (7.95). The precise amount may vary based on your subscription level (Premium or Free), the location from which you are listening, and the particular contracts Spotify has with labels or artists. This only demonstrates that Nigerian music stars may make at least N114,376,582,107 from a group that releases a single project on a single overseas market.

Furthermore, according to data from the massive video streaming platform, Jaiye, the song the couple had together following their breakup, has been viewed roughly 11 million times.
The amount of money a YouTuber makes each watch varies a lot and is determined by a number of variables, including the kind of advertisement, the location of the viewer, and the advertiser’s budget. YouTube pays between $0.01 to $0.03 for per watch on average. This implies that a YouTuber should anticipate making between $10 and $30 for each 1,000 views.

P-Square’s disintegration could cause the brand to disappear, according to music mogul

Regarding the argument between the brothers, a well-known Nigerian music tycoon with over 30 years of experience in the industry. speaking anonymously, the music business veteran who found and oversaw numerous A-list musicians in Nigeria referred to himself as P-Square’s “elder brother.”

However, the music mogul warned that P-Square as a brand would go extinct if the brothers persist on splitting up. The talent manager and music executive added that the brothers would lose millions of dollars if they ultimately decided to separate ways because the music industry now supports your singers.

To tell the truth, I am unable to discuss their argument. To them, I resemble a senior brother. I am aware of the struggles family members have while dealing with various business-related issues. B would get upset if I talked about A, and A would get upset if I talked about B. I want to remain neutral. I’d prefer not to discuss them.

But if I were to talk about it from a business standpoint—as a music entrepreneur who has both produced large-scale events in this nation and found some of the most renowned artists to emerge from Africa when they first split up—I would say that they would come because they would lose a lot of money, and they did.

“They returned when the money was not forthcoming. They had been young then. The music business has now transcended its current state. These days, younger musicians are the ones who belong in the music scene.

Generally speaking, even the quantity of shows that were available at that time had drastically decreased as compared to 2024. At least fifty percent or more. Therefore, it indicates that they are retiring if they state that they do not want to collaborate. They would not be profitable. If they are together, they might do one, two, or three shows a year. However, if they declare their desire to split, it implies they are driving themselves extinct. They are both aware that the P-Square as a unit is coming to an end.

“You will spend a tiny amount of money for A if you want it, and vice versa. They won’t come and they won’t be compensated if they only want to make a little money. It’s possible that they are making a sizable income from streaming services. They felt so hurt that they didn’t want to be together again, but perhaps that is what they want to do. This is the music mogul’s two cents on the matter.
